Correcting The Broken Record

Jon Stewart's magnum opus. In the way only the Daily Show can, Stewart completely exposes the folly of our recent budget dialogue. Teachers must suffer. Yet corporate taxes should be lowered. It's fine to bad-mouth union workers. But please stop being mean to the really swell bankers. The poor must suffer through layoffs, wage cuts, and increased health care costs. We must not ask the rich to sacrifice anything. We need to cut their taxes and just hope some money trickles down.
